Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place the almonds together with the seasonings into a food processor. Pulse until small chopped. Transfer the almond mixture to a shallow plate.
Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli in salted water, for 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside in a bowl. Drizzle or spray with a bit of cooking oil.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off; Place on the plate with the almond coating and gently press to coat on both sides.
Meanwhile, preheat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the chicken in batches until it begins to get golden then flip, for around 4-5 minutes in total.
Once the chicken cutlets are all golden, gather them into the skillet. Add the blanched broccoli next to it.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cutlets are cooked through and no longer pink on the inside.
Season to taste, if needed, and serve warm.

Notes

Use boneless and skinless chicken thighs if needed.
Any oil of choice will work.
Use any other veggie of choice if you don't like broccoli.
You may use frozen broccoli if preferred.
Thin out the chicken breasts if you prefer.
Easily double up on the recipe.
Other nuts can be used like cashews, pecans, or walnuts
